Just starting them in little 3" pots. Want to keep them in the prop a little longer but those root riots just seem too small to keep them in.
I'm different to you on the potting. Always thought you were best to get them to biggest/last container as fast as possible

Any and all ideas welcome ae. Not gonna try it this time though cause of the LST. Think trying to repot when their all bent like that would be a nightmare.
Mandy, those plants are spectacular!

well loets get to the bottom of it then, are they streched so there leaning over? don`t stress pad, you can repot them up to there first true set so you`ll be fine..

Day 6 in one pic, Day 2 in the other.

I'm not crazy about how much those 3 are leaning into the light, the light covers the area very well, and it was nice and close, only a few inches away from the plants.
I might have to stake them.
The three leaning in are all Critical+, while the other 2 are Afghan crosses.

Temps at 24 deg, 90cmx90cm grow tent, no internal fan, started out on a 9500k rooting light, moved onto a 6500k veg CFL (2x36w) and since the move they have bent down to be closer to the center of the light.
I'm guessing it might be something to do with a bad reflector or lights which might have a hot spot which is brighter than other parts of the bulb, causing the plants to all lean into the center of it?
I was planning to veg them on the 2x36w secret jardin 6500k T-NEON, and flower on a 600w HPS... but I might just have to whack in a 400w vegging HID now and blast them with it until the flip.

Hope alls well with the Irish growers and yer enjoying the sun!
Any advice?

first pic they look streched and leaning over is why there like that, second pic looks over watered...
